US, Israel using Saudi Arabia to cover up own role in 9/11: Analyst

The United States and Israel are trying to divert the world’s attention to Saudi Arabia as the perpetrator of the September 11, 2001 attacks, in an attempt to hide their own role as the main plotters of the deadly event that changed the world, says a political analyst in Chicago.

Stephen Lendman, an author and radio host, made the comments on Wednesday, while discussing US President Barack Obama's full-fledged opposition to legislation that would allow 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for their losses.

The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), which was passed by Congress on September 9, was quickly vetoed by Obama, on the grounds that it would be “detrimental” to America's national security interests and its key alliances.

US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter also slammed the bill, saying that the bill would be "devastating" for the US military.

“The scenario that has unfolded in the aftermath of 9/11 did not just happen by chance, the entire ugly business was planned well in advance,” Lendman told Press TV.

“There is no question that 9/11 was what I call the mother of all false flags,” Lendman continued. “A false flag meeting, a crime in this case committed by America and I believe complicit with Israel, blamed on another party.”

The analyst said the recent focus on Saudi Arabia was in fact a distraction from the main perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

He noted that some of the alleged hijackers who were tied to Saudi officials and were said to be onboard the planes during the attacks were later found alive and well, a sign that the attack was being blamed on the wrong party.

“The key thing is that America, and I believe Israel, were responsible for the 9/11 event,” he emphasized. “Everything about it was a big lie.”

Lendman also noted that even if both chambers of Congress vote to override Obama’s veto of the 9/11 bill, there still will be no hope for the victims of the deadly attacks to win any legal claim against the Saudis.

“There will be suits but they will just vanish… nothing whatsoever will happen. Despite all of Saudi Arabia’s massive wealth, they will never pay two cents to anybody for the 9/11 attacks. ”

Both the US House of Representatives and Senate unanimously voted to override Obama’s veto on Wednesday, signing the bill into law regardless of Obama’s stance.

9/11 lawsuits against Saudis to implicate US, Israel: Expert

Kevin Barrett, an author and political commentator, believes that possible lawsuits against Saudi Arabia over the 9/11 attacks would implicate the United States government and the Israeli regime in the event.

“When the Saudis are forced to defend themselves in court under this [9/11] bill as the survivors pursue their claims against the kingdom, we are going to find some very interesting revelations in the defense that the Saudis will bring,” the commentator told Press TV.

Commenting on the US Congress vote to override US President Barack Obama’s veto of the 9/11 bill, Barrett said this is a very “important step” in the process of accelerating the push for getting out the full truth about the event.

“It appears that the Saudi government were partners of those who set up these false flag events that was designed to completely change history by essentially overthrowing constitutional governments here in the United States launching wars against many Middle Eastern nations,” he stated.

The commentator went on to say that the 15 Saudi nationals linked to the 9/11 attacks were actually CIA agents working for the US spy agency in Saudi Arabia.

“We have reports that those 15 people were in fact working for the Central Intelligence Agency; that they came to the United States on phony work visas that were in fact special kinds of visas known as a snitch visa that is offered as a reward for the services of CIA agents in Saudi Arabia,” he added.

Barrett further argued the current world order is “profoundly unjust,” adding that it is based on the “horrific relationship” between the US and Saudi Arabia which is of course now shifting to include Israel as the dominant partner.

He expressed hope that the truth about 9/11 will help put an end to this “inequitable” world order and open the way for something more balanced and just.

The September 11 attacks, also known as the 9/11 attacks, were a series of strikes in the US which killed nearly 3,000 people and caused about $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage.

US officials assert that the attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda terrorists but many experts have raised questions about the official account. They believe that rogue elements within the US government orchestrated the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war machine and advance the Zionist agenda.

Of the 19 hijackers that allegedly carried out the attacks, 15 had Saudi Arabian nationality and available evidence suggests that some of them were linked to high-ranking Saudi officials.
